Binary Integer Program Solver for Java

My problem is in trying to solve a Binary Integer Program through Java. I want to run a series of experiments and an integral component of these experiments is to solve an integer program where the variables are constrained to be between 0 and 1.

In the past I have solved such problems in MatLab, with the function bintprog. In the search for such a function (or class? I'm very new to Java) to use in Java, I have come up empty handed.

Is there a Java library available to solve Integer Programs that has really good documentation?

In my search, I have seen suggestions to use a package called LP_Solve that has had a Java wrapper built around it, and a similar wrapper built for a package called GLPK (wrappers here and here) (which I have used before). The problem with these tools is tha开发者_运维百科t they are not strictly designed for Java, and thusly, lack the kind of documentation that I feel I need, and even worse have complicated instructions to even begin using them in my own code. As I am currently learning the Java language I am wondering if there are any really good packages available to solve Binary Integer Programs, Mixed Integer Linear Programs, or just Integer Programs from my own Java code.

As a side note, I really do not want to switch to another language because I am building off of past code and classes that perform the tasks I desire.

How about Java Integer Linear Program Solver (JILPS)?

LP_Solve with the Java wrapper is what I will be using. It is a free Mixed Integer Linear Program solver. LP_Solve for Java is very easy to install following these instructions. Included in the packages you download are files with lots of example code, which I have found useful. The only part of the installation that slowed me down was having to join the Yahoo group to find the files for download.

IBM cplex even though being c library has java wrappers and documentation

if you want values 0 or 1 try the bool datatype...if your looking at probabilities (that lie between 0 to 1)try limiting a float value such that it is >= 0 and <=1;
